What do you have left to do?
I only have one gift left to buy which I plan on doing today, 1 gift to mail, and otherwise just wrapping and picking up a few more small stocking stuffers. I'm feeling pretty good about where I am.
We will bake this weekend. I have to deliver my gift to my dance instructor on Thursday. Thank GOODNESS DH was in the zone Sunday and knocked out his family gifts that night. WHEW!
I am ready. I hung up the stockings, and that was the extent of my decorating. The presents have been bought and stuffed into gift bags. I plan to do zero baking.
Still need to wrap everything. Still need to get my sister, BIL, and FIL gifts. Still need to make gifts for the grandparents from E that involve stamping his footprints on ceramic plates. This is my major plan for Friday. Help me Jesus. Sister just mentioned this morning getting cousin's daughter something (even though we haven't gotten her anything since her 1st Christmas)
DH still needs to pick a gift for his dad. DH and I still haven't bought for each other. Waiting on a couple things to be shipped in. Starting wrapping, still have more to do.
I'm not in a bad place but still have quite a bit I need to do.

Gifts are bought and wrapped. I need to bake. I am making 4 batches of biscotti on Friday (which require double baking so it takes a while).
If I have time Friday I am making a cake for Saturday. If not I'll make it saturday morning. Saturday we are having my family over for dinner and presents. So I'll need to clean up the house before then too.
For Christmas Day I'm making a trifle but will wait until Christmas Eve to bake the brownies for that. And then I'll put it together Christmas morning.
I don't have anything for my parents and that's eating away at me. I'm starting to go into freak-out mode because I don't have all the time in the world to go walk around a mall. I've looked and looked and nothing seems like something they would want or need.
I only have one thing for my husband that he doesn't know about....the rest of the items he shopped for on his own.
Nothing for my lovely MIL. We aren't speaking right now after she told us to fuck off last month....so that's a whole weird situation that I don't know what to do with. I was thinking of having my kids make her a card? ::sigh:: What a mess with that one.
I need to find something for my FIL, he bought me some nice leather boots so I feel a little pressure to get him something on the nicer end of what we usually get him.
Nothing for my brother yet.
I almost forgot....I haven't gotten anything for my son's preschool teachers. I'm heading off to Costco in about an hour, so maybe I'll find something then?
No decorating, no shopping, no baking, no planning... I don't know if we're actually going to get around to doing anything this year. :/ We did get our cards in the mail yesterday, though, so I'll be addressing those to mail out this weekend.
